Things to do

Recommended Posts

In the absence of Marcus and Aeleron, I'll take over for a few minutes (*insert manic laugh*) and try and get something done in their absence. Lists of things we need to get done

1. List of cool quotes (M2TW Loading Screen quotes)

2. Some cool loading screens for M2TW with a Westeros origin. If you can find more of Amok's art or are yourself a graphics artist, please donate some pics

So, yeah, the deal is, right now, post some good quotes that you feel capture the feeling of Westeros. And the quotee (sp?). Whatever. Just post some cool quotes. Thanks. And some wallpapers / loading screens or whatever you can design...

I put together a list of quotes, conveniently packaged into a text file for the game. I tried to pull as many that were applicable to battles, as befits the game, but that didn't stop a few forays into whimsy. Warning: it's long.

"Those are brave men. Let's go kill them."

-Tyrion Lannister, at the battle of Blackwater Bay

-Jojen Reed

"Gods and dogs alike delight to piss on me."

-Dolorous Edd Tollett

"I don't imply, Frey. I say what I mean straight out, like an honest man. But what would you know of the ways of honest men? You're a treacherous lying weasel, like all your kin. I'd sooner drink a pint of piss than take the word of any Frey."

-Robert Baratheon

"You may well have the better claim, Stannis, but I have the larger army."

-Cersei Lannister

"Only death can pay for life."

-Mirri Maz Duur

"The living should smile, for the dead cannot."

-Dagmer Cleftjaw

Well, for starters, as I think Aeleron and Marcus are very busy IRL, we'll have to wait. If it's possible, try to learn some modding skills over at twcenter.net . Something else you could do is photoshop a few pics to make loading screens for Westeros TW.

I purchased and read the graphic novel version of The Hedge Knight a couple of days ago. I'm going to go over to the TWCenter and see if I can't make some loading screens myself. Do we have like, a link to the font for Westeros: Total War?

I don't know the first thing about modding, but man I can't wait for this one to be done. I'd LOVE to play this game.

Post them all up somewhere on photobucket or something. Even if this mod dies in hibernation, we can still use it for a mod in the future. Empire perhaps? I don't know. Just post them up and give the link please.

I'm not really part of the mod team. I'm just trying to collect stuff they can use during the interim. Thanks for uploading the stuff. If you want to keep on doing it, sure, go ahead, but without Marcus and Aeleron, we don't really have much...
